The Frecdmnn.s savings BANK.

The IHtlr Ocoaa gives the following
history Of the Freedman Savings Bank .
The + edman's ank was proposed as
purely charitable enterprise to encour-
age frugality and thrift among the newly
liberated blacks Mr. Summer reported
the chartering the bank, ! ebruary l.,
1865, and on ;hc ID Of March, following,
it became law. The bank was estab-
lished in Washington, and bran h banks
to the number Of thiTty-fOur were after
ward located in different parts of the
Union. The institution was authorized
TO receive the deposits of negroes, and
invest the same in the stocks, bonds,
Treasury notes, OF other securities Of the
| United States 1t was not intended to
be money making couce.n, either for
bankers or depositors, bat to provide for
the safe keeping Of lne tTeedman's
savings. The government did not
guarantee the safety OF the bank
though the negroes were gener-
ally made to believe that It had
done so-nor did it take the proper pre-
cautions to secure honest management
As a cOnsc iucnce, a number Of tho
trustees. who were also imp icated in
many other financial irregularities, were
enabled to take complete control of the
bank, and manage it to suit their own
interests Iuring the nine years of the
banks existence. II handled no less than
$50, coo, 900 of deposits. Then it sus-
pended payment, and 4 committee Of
Congress was appointed to invvesigate
matters. 1t found TINT the bank had
been scandalously mismanased, Its char
ter regulations ignored, AID It's funds
dissipatcd BY l0aning on inadequate Sc
curitv. BY law, the investments Of the
bank were confined TO government Sc
curities, but this law was ignored, and
the funds used to aid the wildcat
schemes of the ring and their friends.
Unimproved real tate, unstable stocks
(such as that of the Maryland Freestore
Mining and Manufacturing Company.
alias the .eneca Stone Company, and
personal notes. were among the assets OF
the bank Deficits and embezzlements
at the branch banks also produced many
losses. The unsecured debts owed by
the bank to depozitoFs July Is, 1874,
amounted 10 -, 500, 600. The asscts,
which realized more Than was expected,
welded nearly SLIGO 600 Dividends
have been Paid at various times, but
many small depositors. through ignor-
ance and despair, forfeited their divi-
dends by not calling for them. In all
-, 0OO dividends, amounting to SIP, 900,
were thus forfeited. The cost of wind
inc up'' this bank WAS $47j, 600. For
some years three bank commissioners
were employed at 4 salary Of $1,000
each. But in February, 1881, the affairs
Of the bank were all turned over to the
Comptroller Of the currency, at great
saving of expenses
